Yep, Andreesen's everything you say and probably worse. But his money and drive won't have the effect he says they will.

We have tiers of universities in the U.S., some independent institutions with their own wealth management systems, and some dependent on corporate input, thus pummeled. They're a big target for the billionaire class, but they're also big enough that he's likely to be stopped by faculty and alumni resistance at that level, and by media journalists who don't take kindly to their alma maters being attacked by his ilk. I take into account that he'll lose credibility among his global class by going down with Trump over the felon's racist immigration stance and general corruption.
